All natural

When I think of Robert Clergerie shoes, my mind tends to go to his black architectural boot styles first (much like these). I mean that's why I love the guy's shoes so much! A complete change of pace for spring though are these "Naya" raffia platform flats I recently came across on Zappos, which Clergerie originally released in 1990! They look like the perfect non-sandal summer shoe, comfy as hell, and because they are made from raffia (a species of palm), they are cruelty free too.

*EditNot long after I posted the shoes above, I learned via Twitter that Clergerie has collaborated with Opening Ceremony on some equally sweet footwear, with the same raffia platform! It looks like there's 4 colors up on the site now (unless more styles are coming?), but I'm set with the polka dots...top of the wish list, thanks OC!
